Tea Popsicles - An Exotic Summer Treat
Teas and herbals add an exotic and calorie-conscious flavour twist to this summertime treat!
Whether you add fruit, spices or just use tea straight up, tea popsicles are just the thing you need to beat the heat.
We used Organic Blue Delta, an herbal blend of chamomile with Butterfly Pea Flower that steeps a deep blue and turns purple when you add a squeeze of lemon. You can make a brightly coloured blue and purple layered popsicle with one tea. One tea two ways!
The red popsicles are made using Organic Elderberry Hibiscus for a fruity, herbaceous twist. This herbal blend has Canadian elderberries and Egyptian hibiscus that gives it a tart-meets-sweet taste. Organic Elderberry Hibiscus is a staple for every kitchen.
